My Astoria - Oregon

- It's no secret that I absolutely love Astoria (Oregon), and I try to show you why I love it so much with a few clips from my many trips to Astoria.
I know for a fact that there's nothing more annoying than presenting you with a slide show or videos with music selected by the editors taste - so I've decided to make this video different from the rest...
...just RAW... just Astoria - exactly like it is, the sounds and the videos are unaltered, not glorified in any way - just Astoria's breathtaking natural beauty.
I fell in love with Astoria since my childhood. I guess "Goonies" movie caused such an impact on most people of my generation (I'm 35).
What a beautiful place.
Same here! That movie really did make a big impact. It definitely did on my life. I'm your age. I just wish people wouldn't have went "overboard" with it when it came to the "Goonies House." I recently read about what the owner went through with the fans before they closed the driveway. Such a shame.
I'm from Brazil, and I love when a I see movies made in Astoria, since Goonies this city always was my favorite place of usa. I hope one day to visit your country and this beautifull city. Thanks by the video!
I live in Cali, im with you. Good luck in your endeavors, i hope we make it there 1 day.
i live in sweden always been fascinated with the old america. and yes Goonies realy picture this town in such a beautiful manner.
The movie The Goonies was filmed in Astoria & on Cannon beach which is aways from Astoria. Both are beautiful places to visit along the Oregon Coast
Facts! And don't forget the movie Kindergarten Cop
I'm from Argentina. I visited Astoria in 2016 for my birthday. Got my goonies shirt at the museum and went to see the house. A dream come true. Thanks for this video. Great memories!
thanks for the great video. love the no music and no commentary. just beautiful Astoria
Thank you to those who help keep memories alive. I Love my hometown and I need to revisit it every so often. Ty ty again
I am from Portland, moved here a few years ago. LOVE IT!
I miss Astoria bunches, I miss my house at 3rd and Franklin, someone else is living there but I hope to be back there someday. Astoria is a wonderful community with so much to offer. Thank you for your time and posting this.
I've lived here for over 20 years and can't imagine living any where else. And I love the rain. You came close to showing my house which may have the best view in the whole town. I can see the Mouth of the Columbia and down Commercial Street out past Tongue Point. Then up to the column. Thank you
How can you handle the wind,rain,and cold? no sun
thicc fried okra I grew up in Sacramento where from May through October it averages 100°. So I’ve had enough heat. I love the cloudy days and the rain. Everything is green and the air is clean.
@@aasailor how bad are the winters? i'm hearing strong winds and raining
@@aasailor other than that it looks as perfect as can be
I love this area too. My Dad had shore duty here in the mid-fifties.
We lived in Navy Housing at first, and Dad was in charge of the maintenance shop that maintained the 'mothball fleet.' Soon, my folks found a big old rambling house to rent near Svensen, nine miles up-river, where we lived for the next two years.
The best two years of my childhood.
My great grandparents and later my grandma owned the house at 296 53rd Street. I believe my great grandfather built at least part of the house. They were Finnish immigrants that came to work at the canneries after a stint in bleak North Dakota. There was still black paint remnants left on the windows from WWII when I was growing up. My grandma didn't do much with the garden but there's many photos of my great grandparents standing proudly in the yard with my great grandma's dahlias and great grandpa's wooden spinners and yard art. It was split into a duplex by the time I was around, but was originally a 3 bed 2 bath house. My grandma and I would take the river walk when I came to visit her. She passed when I was 10. My other grandparents were near Cullaby Lake in Warrenton. I spent most summer breaks there growing up. My mom used to work at the Ship Inn. My great aunt Helmi worked at Home Baking Company on Marine Drive. My grandma would tell stories about working at the canneries at back in the day, and being able to stand out on the sand bar and there were so many salmon you could scoop them up in your arms (this may be hyperbole). Some part of my mom's side of the family owned Skipanon Canning-- they had my great grandma's salmon chowder recipe on their can. The Northern Oregon coast has a touch of magic.
Magic indeed, thanks for the insight and your story, very interesting read. Yes, Astoria have a very rich Finn community too, I've met at least two of them when I last visited Astoria, one of them had been an barber for 38 years in Astoria, lovely lady - showed me around town. Another one was at the Benjamin Inn, I got the great fortune of tasting a bit of Finnish pastry Cardamon Cinnamon Rolls baked to perfection.
My first experiences of Astoria were sailing past going up river in the 60s before the bridge was built. Since then I have returned on holiday several times, most recently in 2018. Its a lovely place, as is Oregon in general.
Great video! These type of videos let you see the town in a way that other travel/tourism videos don't.
i love all the shades of green and all the bright colored flowers.
My Grandma lived there for years, right up Franklin & 4th. I remember watching the studio film the very beginning of "Goonies" movie set right down the hill near that old historic jailhouse and the bowling alley close by.
I grew up near there. Astoria is my retirement plan. A beautiful B&B located in the historic district, Victorian era home with all of the hidden modern amenities.
There is no place that balances the light and dark of the PNW quite like Astoria.
Not sure you find this note, but THANK You to post this, no stupid music , and Great video. You rock !!
Nice job! My daughter's Grandpa is a professor at Clatsop College and My girlfriend at the time and I went to see him on a bike trip back in '88 from Idaho. Other videos mostly just concentrate on the docks, museum, etc-but this video showed what I absolutely LOVED about Astoria-all of those beautiful historic homes built on and in to the hillsides with the mature landscaping, and vistas. Makes me want to eat a bowl of homemade chicken soup and take a nap on the porch with the rain...Lol! Sorry-got carried away.....
By all means, get carried away - that's the Astoria effect. Lovely to hear about your story there. Thanks for your input.
I’m from clatskanie haha right down the road but lived on the coast in my teens and early 20’s love Astoria, warrenton, Seaside!!
Our America , such a wonderful place.
Thanks for posting this. It brings back a lot of memories!
Nice to document for the future. “Oh, look at all the old cars!”
My grandparents lived in Astoria. I remember riding to the ferries across the river the canneries and the naval mothball fleet. Life was good there in the 50's and 60's. The river and history is amazing. My grandfather had something to do with the building of the column up on the hill. You could walk there from there house.
I do love your Astoria...i dreamed for a long time to be able to move to usa....i feel american inside..but things went wrong,and i am stick here were i live...cause i am obliged to stay here....my soul belong to usa.
I lived and worked there at Baked Alaska back in 2002. I loved my work and the people.
I'm originally from the east coast, I will never forget the smell of Astoria.. So fresh and green
Is the cost of living very high in Astoria, can you give me an idea?
Lesley Willow I lived and worked in astoria summer of 2002 at the fish hatchery
Freedom Atlast Why did you leave?
Astoria is a photographers paradise. Enjoyed your video.
You showed me an inadvertent street view of a couple of houses I've been looking at. One that I like a lot, I think. Thanks for the beautiful views of the neighborhoods. Such sweet, comfortable looking homes.
Be careful with the Frattelli, guys!
I was born in Astoria I hope to return one day
Beautiful and serene
what a great video that seems to showcases this town well! I am just starting the process of relocating...lived in San Francisco for many years, (Astoria is nicknamed Little San Francisco?) and this reminds me of some of the small towns in Marin County....I moved north of Seattle to a nice suburb but it doesn't have any personality and I would like to be closer to the water, BUT, I really hate the rain and see that Astoria rains more than where I live now, so am afraid I will lose my mind! Any thoughts on this or know of a similar type coastal town with better weather (probably doesn't exist?) I am older, work from home and looking to buy home (affordable) in a town that is very walkable for me and my dog. Are people friendly? Assuming the town has the normal doctors, dentists, animal vets, etc. Any major stores and if not, what is the closest city? Thank you to anyone who comments about the pros and cons.
I have lived in Astoria since 06 and you showed the houses on the Columbia river side but not the side by the high school or the column, Astoria has many beautiful areas
I live in Astoria Oregon
You are very lucky ! Its beautiful
Hello birdman, why dont see people walking in the streets?
Ayyy Birdman, see any eugenes there? Thinking of moving.
weather too bad?
Birdman Deadly me too
Frozen in time, keep it that way.
I love how tranquil it is. Looks like a nice to place to live.
Sure is! Would love to have a place there one day.
I live here and my house is in this video. Love it.
I've googled the crime there and has a rating of a F. how is it really there? I know everywhere has its bad places.
It used to be a good place to grow up, raise the family work and live. But the goddamn government ruined our fishing and logging economy so the jobs disappeaered....Now its just a tourist trap full of hucksters, weirdos and queers who have moved here f rom California who the locals hate
BlankUberEverybody I’m thinking of moving there from Eugene. But if it’s really that crappy I might have to rethink... can you tell me more about it?
It’s amazing I lived in this town at the age of 22 while my husband was attending college. My newborn baby girl and I met my very best girlfriend in this area we lived on Marine Drive. I did not drive I took the taxi everywhere and loved it I remember the hill and the taxi car was so Big and bulky and comfortable beautiful going to the beach because it was so close thanks for sharing
I'm moving there this month, I'm so excited!
Its home, my sweet town.
when i see Astoria, it must remind me of Free Willy.
Thanks for sharing your video I really enjoyed it.☺
I went to Tongue Point Job Corp Center for a year and have been fascinated with the area ever since. My wife and I often go to Seaside and hang out
I love it here in Astoria
Loved seeing your Astoria, Oregon. And you're absolutely right about soundtracks being a distraction, but now I'm curious what music you hear when you see those beautiful images.....
CL - The rain is music to my ears.
I am deeply impressed, very beautiful this jewel.
Yesterday I read in an newspaper you seldom see groups of playing children in American suburbs or small towns.
Is it too dangerous ?
Can`t believe this.
Thanks from Hamburg, Germany.
I met a few of them in the streets, but like any modern kids they´re probably just home playing with their Playstation or Nintendo ;) And if I´m not mistaken, there´s a curfew after certain hours, check out the regulations here: astoria.or.us/Assets/dept_3/PM/pdf/chapter5citycode.pdf
This is STUNNING. Thank you!!!!!
Thank you for watching, and yes - Astoria is truly a pearl.

I was just watching a movie which was made in Astoria, from there I was surprised and started to search for more scenes of this place...... thanks for sharing such a lovely place video......... wish to go there! :)
Miss astoria my home town just not enough good paying jobs like in portland
Very beautiful town
this is exactly the kind of place i want to live. I'm gonna save my money and move there
Heather I lived in astoria so many years. It's not the way it was years back. Know it's very bad. The place has become very ghetto and very expensive. Take this advice from someone that has seen the drastic change
Hay I like to know still around I love your work style still alive why new stuff that town it not same sad and seaside
Hi, I live in Sweden and we currently have an embargo from visiting the USA due to the virus issues going on right now, so I can't visit Astoria again yet - But I will do - and make new films as soon as the embargo has been lifted, thanks for your kind comments.
Magnifique from paris
Love Astoria❤
Will you go seaside,what year was made,why no new videos
@james Laumand, the clips are from 2013 and 2014. I've been to Seaside a few times, I have some clips from there too but not enough to justify the place because I need to do some more exploration there, I probably will once the pandemic is over and I can return to Astoria. There's not been any new videos since I've been unable to return to Astoria due to the travel embargo placed on all foreigners from Scandinavia 2020 and 2021 due to the pandemic, I was scheduled to return there last year. Stay tuned, there will be new videos once the embargo has been lifted.
Well if i get rich, im moving here. Central cali sucks.
Peaceful, bliss. Someday, maybe. 😊 i can dream.
Thanks for the upload! Loved it. I've always wanted to visit Astoria
Looks to be a great place, if you dislike the sunshine
The ethereal quality of Astoria beats vulgar sunshine for me.
I want to move there so badly, but what on earth do people do for work that doesn't involve fishing?
Astoria is really big on tourism. It's a gorgeous city, they have Highway 30 running - so a lot of business is based on tourism, especially diners & restaurants. The city is also big on antiques and collectibles - and there's quite a few artists that have found their home and living there. A lot of them commute to Portland (which is roughly 1.5 hour drive, 2.5 hour if you use the bus that commutes 2 times a day between Portland and Astoria). That's pretty hard to do since the commute is so long, so it's really great if you have a business you can set up online (Internet connectivity in the city is pretty good). Shop locally - if you want the city to grow and thrive.
I am from St. Petersburg, Russia! We have a big country and a big city, there are areas of the city that we never visit, it is even more difficult to visit Russian cities because of long distances. Astoria liked the city as a child, after watching the movie Goonies, such a cozy, quiet safe city! It is very surprising that there are no fences and alarms in the house, I often watch American investigations of crimes, it is shown that rapists and drug addicts can enter the house very easily, the doors are also very thin (! It's a pity that your city is very sorry and difficult to drive, but I would be very I wanted to go there :)
I live there
So beautiful your town, i would like see the goonies house, where was filmed movie. thank you ! :D
Wendel NR - The people who live in that house do not like being bothered by sightseers. With so many interesting public places inthe area, I do not understan the obsession some people have for that house.
@@GH-oi2jf it is because of the film obviously, and we are all well aware that nobody is allowed up the driveway to the house anymore, and I'm sure most would respect that. The owners of the house must have known about its fame with the film etc, so if they wanted a quiet life, probably not the best house to buy. Also the amount of revenue that is generated by fans of the film visiting for that reason must surely be good for the local economy.
Very good video...thank you. How is the availability of monthly rental options?
Hi, I've been living in Astoria for 5 years now, nice place nice people. A lot of scandinavian blood in this part of Oregon. Jeg flyttet hit fra Norge i 2011...sammen med min kone og min datter. Så langt har det vært helt ok å bo her.
PS: den broen i Irving street/ 19th street...som du ser ifra 4:01 til 4:18 er revet og bygd på ny. Nå er det en fantastisk bro utført i betong som er der...
Og en ting til...dette er første gangen jeg ikke har skrudd av lyden på en slik videosnutt. :)
+Fred Meyer
Wow, det er jo bare fantastisk å treffe en felles Nordmann som til og med BOR i Astoria! Det er bra å høre at dere har det hyggelig i Astoria - men det kommer jo ikke bak på meg da de 2 gangene jeg har reist til Astoria (2012 + 2013) så fantes det veldig mange hyggelige mennesker å snakke med. Den siste gangen jeg var der - bodde jeg der i hele 30+ dager.
Jeg blir helt kjempenysgjerrig på hvordan Dere oppdaget Astoria? (Og Fred Meyer - det er jo det kjøpesenteret over på den andre siden av broen), mange takk for ditt innlegg. :)
+Tommy Helgevold Det var min far som først flyttet hit i slutten på 60 tallet. Han var sjømann på den tiden og da mine foreldre ble skillt...flyttet han over hit...til den lille byen han syntes var så vakker. Således ble det naturlig for oss...da vi bestemte oss for å prøve å flytte til USA...å bruke denne lille vakre byen som et ankerpunkt her borte. Jeg har også en bror som bor her i byen. Det er riktig at det store kjøpesenteret på Warrenton heter Fred Meyer...det er jo litt morsomt. :)
I want to work in health care and hope to move here. Think it will work out?!
I would contact Columbia Memorial Hospital, and Coastal Family Health Center and Providence Health & Services if I were you, they might provide you with an idea of the current needs of the region.
Thanks, Tommy, I read the regulations.
An everyday scenery like this is very seldom in the States.

There are cities in Europe where playing children are to be seen (in summer).
They have smartphones and laptops (at home).
Sold. I want to move here. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks
Could I get you to send me a paper I'd send the money first
Ser rigtigt hyggeligt og fredfyldt ud 👍
+Peter Storm Michaelsen
Det er super fedt at være der, det kan også være en lille smule svært at få det med på film, men det er alltid et forsøg værdt.
Det er da lykkedes ganske godt! Jeg ser gerne en fra hvor du bor nu :-)
Any towns inland with the forest nearby?
twistnn - Western Oregon is mostly forested.
Beautiful video. Though this video shows quite places. Actually I lived in astoria and it's not like this video at all.
Thanks, and I partially agree with you, because I spent 42 Days in Astoria exclusively as a vacation from Sweden, and I wanted to feel how it is to really LIVE there, you seldom get an impression of a place by just visiting it for a day or two. Astorias commercial street and the surrounding areas are really busy during the Sundays Markets, and buzzing between 12 - 18.00, after that, the streets are pretty much silent as in the footage. I do have busy streets footage of the Farmers market etc, Might edit and upload that one day.
I would love to live in that area but im sure it costs a lot of money to live there
Phuket seaside Thailand :)
Watch out, all us Californians will move up there and ruin your beautiful little town! I’ve been there twice and just love this town and love that bridge!
Too late !!!
You'd hate all the rain. You should definitely stay put In California. Seriously. Never leave the Golden State. Never. Promise?
I had great at Annies ... 😎
Beautiful town except for the rain 340 days a year
Nice video to watch, but was dissappointed to see no footage of the goonies house, kindergarten cop school, or the free willy house
Bryan Francis - When will people get over that stuff? The house is just an ordinary house. If you want to see it, watch the film.
I excluded that on purpose because I want people to see the TRUE beauty of Astoria, and I've talked to the owner of the Goonies house, they are very kind and welcoming - but has been disturbed a lot by tourists that don't really care for their privacy. I have a TON of footage from inside the house and around, but decided to not upload this to respect and honor the hospitality and peace of the residents living there.
Remember the goonies
PrettyBoy Grizzly - Why don’t people just forget about this? Films are shot in many cities. This is the only one people seem to obsess about. Get over it.
I love Astoria but I really don't like the weather. 😔
Is it a nice and safe place to raise kids?
If they like heroin and bums
Goonies brought me here.
What month was this footage recorded?
During June/July 2013 as far as I can remember.
A well done video, thank you for not adding music, nice touch.
where´s 6:45 street ?
27 Club Band - Astoria
Yee intruders beware!
"Hey you guys"
I don't know looks eerie, maybe it's because I'm from California.
Good. Stay there.
